Artist Statement:
Check out my Blog:
www.jaxbydesign.artblog.com
I am currently painting
abstract art. My interests lie
in manipulating the canvas,
keeping away from concepts,
objects, figures, and when I
feel a form creeps in I try to
use the image to give the
painting some direction and
then step back and mentally
remove myself from the
constraints of these forms.
Almost like a ghost appearing
and then disappearing.
I feel the need to concentrate
on creating a painting for
paintings sake. Paint on
canvas – colors, shapes,
lines, patterns, images – all
juxtaposed with a random
purpose.
I am focusing on more
aggressive paint strokes,
juxtaposed against delicate
organic forms. Fresh paint on
canvas, the first strokes give
my paintings an exciting raw
edge. Opposites, I am
deliberately trying to do the
opposite of what I was taught
as a painter, what I have
learned as acceptable, to
paint like a child - what we
as adults just naturally get
further away from. Sometimes,
my thoughts are to paint,
"ugly", mix pigments, paint
wet on wet, paint dry, put
direction in corners going
away from the canvas, create
imbalance. And I find that
within these spontaneous
parameters, their is a natural
balance ...
